Hello Divingbluefrog,

Quote:
@kevinsue : I'm a great fan of the 4 bearings method too. Do you practice the standby method, i.e. with your first 3 tracing at 0 speed, or the dynamic method? The later is a little bit more precise than the former, and especially more realistic, but don't expect to find the heading of your target at the minute right.
When courses and relative speed are the most favorable, you will find the heading at 2-3°, distance is very much more precise : a few hundred meters.
Haven't tried the dynamic version of 4 bearings (first time I've heard of it). Is there a tutorial for this method? I use a lot of dynamic shooting at flank speed when I mess up my 4 bearings quick 90 degree setup! Mad spinning of the RAOBF getting solutions while the target is zigzagging and running. Sometimes I've taken an hour or more to run them down if I've been spotted or the watch has seen the torpedo wake and they manage to evade it.
